Officers were conducting a
"protective sweep" of the home when they saw the drugs in the basement, according to a statement from Police Chief Tom Sansone's office.
code word for justifying a warrantless search. They had the homeowner and suspect in hand, no reason to believe there were any other persons of danger in the home. The appeals court will end up overturning the district courts refusal to suppress the evidence and this guys conviction will be overturned, then the city of newcastle will settle for hundreds of thousands to avoid the 4th Amendment lawsuit.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
